Sneak And Peek And Never Judge A Book By It´s Cover



Actually all went more or less good last Wednesday - apart from the fact of # "knowing".
The tutor did a job as best as possible but all the problems seemed so far away from me.
Which employee from department 30 is earning the lest and has the same job as employee No 123.

Well.
The only really funny thing was when it came to joined tables and suddenly Homer, Bart and Lisa turned up :-)



I felt like a brick afterwards, too!

The tutor found a connection for me being home 1 1/2 hours earlier (which # did not manage, btw!), but he mixed up left and right explaining the way to the tram.
Which led to me leaving first, getting lost and suddenly being behind #, who hence had no chance finding me.
Half an hour later we were in Munich and the train station was more than packed, again, no chance.

So it was some 5 hours not in the same place.
I got lucky and found a free seat to Göttingen, but for a no-train-passenger it was weird!
Two ICE-trains were connected until Göttingen, where I wanted to go, but suddenly it said Hamburg - am I in the wrong train after all?!

The woman opposite me, who had annoyed me for an hour snoring was awake and in mild panic I asked her if this is the right train.

Turned out also someone who has no idea.

Turned out she could talk and talk, too.

And with a strong Russian accent.
Because she was from Russia, actually.

Her plan: Go from Hamburg, where she lives, to Munich (780 km) to catch a plane to Cuba - via Canada.
She even booked it in an office, not online.
All she could do in the end was hop on another train and go back to Hamburg - that lady in the office "forgot" to let her know she needs a visa for the one hour break in Canada!!!!

Money very likely gone, too, her Grandmother in Cuba deeply disappointed.

And what does she say?

Well, if the plane crashes, at least I´m not on it!

I´d never had such a positive attitude, I´d be crazy about plans and money and time lost!

My, last time is 4 years ago already, Varadero:



Ahhhh, Cuba!



She has inherited a house in Havana and has to go there at least once a year.
We talked about the progress there and also the only seemingly ones.

She grew up in Cuba and has done so many jobs, I thought she is near her 50s.
37, uups!

Those 4 hours just flew by!

In Göttingen I got off at platform 9. No running, 5 minutes later the ICE to Braunschweig arrived right there.
No such luck this time, a place on the floor by the door it was again, aw, well, the usual with Deutsche Bahn...

Sadly the time with # left some traces on my nerves again - a nice weekend is different.

Time-out at river Oker on Sunday:



Sunny, but way too cold.
Hope Teamleader can help me with at least some problems with #, other I have to learn to find it funny or such.
Very hard task, long way to go, kinda:



Well, let´s see how it all works out.

Thankful for Bro and friends helping me heaps here!!!

What a roundabout way to go to Cuba, I think! Have a nice weekend Iris.
